The current year 1 ounce gold Britannia is the latest in a series of British gold bullion coins issued by the Royal Mint. The gold Britannia contains exactly 1 troy ounce of gold, is legal tender within the United Kingdom and has a face value of 100 British Pounds. Gold Britannias are also minted in 5 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 1/4 ounce, and 1/10 ounce sizes, though the 1 Ounce Gold Britannia is the most common. First minted in 1987, the Gold Britannia has seen increased production in order to meet the higher global investor demand, and the 1 Ounce Gold Britannia has already been extremely popular with buyers who invest in gold.

Details of the 1 oz Gold Britannia

The 1 oz Gold Britannia is unique among gold bullion coins, being struck from 99.99% pure gold instead of the more-common 99.9%. Only the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf shares this distinction. The same design elements are repeated with the Silver Britannia -- the obverse of the Gold Britannia depicts Queen Elizabeth II in profile, along with her titles abbreviated along the edge of the coin. The reverse features a changing design of the Britannia figure, one of the iconic symbols of the United Kingdom. Also shown on the reverse are the mint year, the weight, and the gold fineness.
